By Wednesday morning, 78,109
corona vaccinations had been reported
to the Robert Koch Institute (RKI).
Compared to the previous day, the number of people vaccinated rose by 37,273, as shown by RKI information on Wednesday.
However, this number could also contain late registrations and thus does not reflect the number of people actually vaccinated on a day, emphasizes the RKI.
37,302 nursing home residents were among those vaccinated.
32,678 people received the vaccination for professional reasons, including medical staff with a very high risk of infection, for example in emergency rooms or treating corona patients, as well as staff in geriatric care.
20,913 people were vaccinated because of their old age over 80 years.
The number of reported deaths related to the coronavirus passed the 1000 mark for the first time, a high.
Within one day, the German health authorities reported
1129
new deaths
to the RKI, according to the RKI figures from Wednesday morning.

In addition,
22,459
new infections
were reported.
Last Wednesday (December 23), 24,740 new infections and the previous high of 962 deaths were reported.
Before Christmas, the RKI had announced that the current figures were only partially comparable with the values of the previous week, as it expected a lower number of tests and fewer reports from the health authorities at the turn of the year.
Still, the number of new deaths on Wednesday morning was significantly higher than a week ago.

According to the RKI report from Tuesday evening, the
nationwide
seven-day R value
was 0.67 (Monday: 0.74).
This R value means that 100 infected people infect 67 other people.
The value represents the occurrence of the infection 8 to 16 days ago.
If it is below 1 for a long time, the infection process subsides.
In its report, however, the RKI emphasizes that at the turn of the year, corona cases are only displayed, recorded and transmitted with a delay, "so that the R value may also be underestimated".

New corona infections in
Great Britain
continue to rise steeply.
On Tuesday, the authorities recorded a record 53,135 new cases.
It was only on Monday that they reported the highest daily increase since the start of the pandemic, with 41,385 new infections.
The rate per 100,000 inhabitants rose to 381.5.
On the one hand, this could be related to a delayed testing due to the Christmas holidays - but also to the mutation B.1.1.7 that occurred in England, which makes the virus more contagious.
Due to the rapidly increasing corona infections,
the pandemic measures
in
South Africa
are being tightened again significantly.
Among other things, President Cyril Ramaphosa announced a curfew from 9 p.m. to 6 a.m.
In South Africa, the number of new corona infections has increased in an "alarming and unprecedented way," said Ramaphosa.
A new variant of the virus, in particular, is spreading quickly and appears to be more contagious than the original variant.
The medical staff is already exhausted and has difficulties facing the second wave, although the climax is still pending.
Over 10,000 people in South Africa are infected with the corona virus every day.
The country has surpassed one million registered infections, with 6.5 million tests and a total population of 56 million.
More than 27,000 people have so far died as a result of a corona infection.
In the
USA
, the number of confirmed corona infections increased by at least 214,070 to 19.26 million cases within 24 hours.
This is the result of a survey by the Reuters news agency based on official data.
The number of deaths related to the virus increased by at least 1905 to 334,933.
The United States has the highest number of infections and deaths in the pandemic worldwide.
In
Beijing
, ten districts in the northeastern Shunyi district are cordoned off.
16 infections have been reported there since December 18.
"The capital's Covid prevention and control must initiate emergency mode," says a spokesman for the city administration.
This is the first cordon in the Chinese capital since the last coronavirus outbreak in June and July.

India
, the number of new corona infections has dropped to its lowest level in half a year.
The Ministry of Health reported 16,432 positive test results within 24 hours on Tuesday, the highest number since June 25.
However, the particularly contagious virus variant that appeared in Great Britain was found in six people.
These are people who have returned from Great Britain in the past few weeks.
They are now in quarantine, as are their close contacts.
The authorities also tried to locate the fellow travelers.
